What makes a great breaststroker




















His glide is long yet extremely powerful. He rides the entire momentum from his kick, only pulling when he begins to slow down. Also, Cordes catches as much water as he can during the pull.

This style allows him to shoot past his competition. Even though most of the speed in breast comes from the kick, Cordes is not wasting his pull. He uses all of the strength in his upper body coupled with a strong kick. Watching his races, you can see how he maximizes his power into each full stroke. Notice how he quickly snaps his ankles together yet places more emphasis on the output of his kick.

Analyzing his m breast race, you can see that he takes one stroke about every 1. Cordes also capitalizes on long pullouts, again maximizing efficiency. It is important to note that this style works well with swimmers of larger size. Cordes is an excellent example of how beneficial this style of breaststroke can be by capitalizing on his size and power. This type of breaststroke is also quite effective in the and long course breast. Peaty is the most famous forerunner of this style of breaststroke.

Using a high tempo has allowed him to smash records that most fans thought inconceivable for at least a few more years. The first sub-minute swim in the m breast was in Fifteen years later, Peaty is making a run at 56 seconds. Breaststrokers always have to be ready to adapt. Breaststroke is all about timing.

If one thing is off your whole stroke is off, there is no getting around it. From the kick and pull to not gliding into the walls, timing is something that needs to practiced every time breaststrokers swim the stroke or the race will not be successful. As difficult as it is in practice, focusing on timing is worth it!

In breaststroke, you are very limited to when you can breathe. Every breaststroker knows the pain of not being able to breathe or having trouble making the send off, but only the passionate breaststrokers understand the fury of a Backstroker which you the breaststroker have wished to be for so long complaining about how easy breaststroke is. They who can make the intervals with minimal effort, actually absorb air, and have very little technique involves whatsoever. To most breaststrokers, the only stroke that rivals the hardness of breaststroke is butterfly, but even they cannot diss their stroke.

Our breathing also must be timed especially when swimming all out. We may have our faces out of the water, but we risk getting water up our nose or inhaling water far more than any other swimmer. The biggest problem is when the kick alternates.. I kind of misread the title of the post. My comment was meant as a breaststroker strength rather than struggle. But you guys got that. I heard people like kevin cordes can kick under 30….

Notice the image in number 5, where the breaststroker is trying to keep his head looking down neck straight. Try catching a breath with the water rolling straight down across your mouth and nose. And doing dolphin kick breaststroke during a stroke drill set beats doing a 6 kick 3 stroke backstroke every time.

The reason breaststrokers come in so many different sizes and shapes is that there are a lot of different ways to do it well. Adjusting the percentage to more pull than kick will be addressed in a future article.
